Miranda
I {erica} have been DYING to blog about these bridals since the day we went hiking. YES! i said hiking. Along with a few bridesmaids and her mother, Miranda and I went up to a beautiful waterfall in the mountains for her bridal session. It was breathtaking! Miranda & Tyler Rowe were married this past weekend and now I can finally post her bridals! Congratulations to you both!

Ashley
Working on a big hugantic blog post from my Swedish wedding that will include lot’s of interesting facts about the difference between weddings there and here but until then, wanted to post a quick teaser from Ashley’s bridal session. Do I need to state the obvious here?! G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S!

Hallie + Matt
If you are an avid reader of our blog, you probably think that Erica is not so busy these days, but the truth is, I have just not been blogging her beautiful images enough! She has had some really beautiful weddings, a stunning bridal in a waterfall (which I can’t share yet, but can’t wait!) and senior portraits. I will try to do better! For now I will share a wedding that took place at Banner Elk Winery. It was a lovely wedding with the stunning natural scenery that the winery offers.
Here’s a few of the images:

Hallie is also a photographer. Erica and Hallie were in classes together at App State actually. For table decorations, Hallie printed her own images and placed them under glass, making each table a small gallery of her work. Great idea!


She also hand-crocheted the white trimmings of the hoopa…I am absolutely amazed!

A true southern wedding…red gingham tablecloths, horses, barn, beautiful pasture…what more could a southern girl want? This wedding was charming and I so enjoyed photographing every last detail! Congrats to Missy and Mike…I know this was a long time coming and you really celebrated in style!

New Space, New Face!
We are very excited to announce that we have moved to a beautiful house at the corner of 127 and 2nd Ave, close to downtown Hickory. This move has been in the making for several months and we feel so relieved to be at a great location with plenty of room to move around. We now have two shooting rooms that we can offer our clients.
To kick off our new place and to properly break in our studio, we are offering a great deal!

This is only during the month of August and only applies Monday-Thursday in our studio.
Our office hours are by appointment only, so please call us to schedule your session now! 828-322-8523. These sessions are perfect for senior portraits, newborn sessions {less than 2 weeks} or birthday sessions among others.
For our beloved regular clients, we first of all want to thank you for your support and encouragement. We quite honestly would be nowhere without you.
I hate to say it, but Christmas is fast approaching and these portraits will be great for gifts or even Christmas Cards. We look forward to hearing from you!

Heidi + Matt
Pink and orange was the theme for the day and it couldn’t have been done more elegantly with a touch of whimsey. I didn’t get the chance to meet Heidi and Matt before their wedding day, but it didn’t take long to experience their sense of humor and friendliness. There were many laughs shared during the day and I was so fortunate to be a part of it. Heidi worked hard on the details…vintage details and colorful pinwheels. Here’s a few from the day. This wedding may pop up another time on the blog because it was just so hard to narrow down my images! Congrats Heidi and Matt!





Cute idea! Their dog left a message to all of the guests that in lieu of a gift, a donation was made the their local Humane Society.

The Wray Girls
Can I just say that these girls are as colorful on the inside as they are out! We had such a great time and pretty much laughed the entire session. Pink was the color for the day! Here’s a few of them…

Austin
Well I have known this little one since he was born and it is so fun to watch him grow. He is quite the little runner too. Despite the 90 degree heat, he ran most of the session. What a fun kid!
Here’s a few from the day.

So I have already learned this lesson, but quickly forgot. When using balloons with little ones you need to tie them to their arms or this may be the only shot you get!

And this might be your next shot…

Ooopss! At least he wasn’t upset about it.

The power of three…
Well I have been posting on Facebook that Orange Cat will have a special announcement on Wednesday so here it is…

I {Dana} am teaming up with Katy Cook Photography and Amanda Caldwell Photography to collaborate and do a boudoir tour. We will start in Hickory at Orange Cat Studio and will be traveling to Atlanta, Wilmington, and other destinations to be determined.
We are very excited to offer you three sessions for the price of one! You will have three different photographers, three different perspectives, and three different scenarios to make your boudoir experience fun for you and extra special for your significant other.
Out tour will begin in Hickory on August 21st. The investment is $599, but for those that book before July 6th will receive a discount of $100. Your investment will include three same-day sessions, three photographers, online gallery, and an elegant folio including 3 images of your choice. (shown below) We will be limiting the number of ladies we will be shooting so the sooner you sign up, the better.

To inquire, email me at dana@orangecatphoto or call the studio at 322-8523. And if you can’t do the Hickory date or location but want to request we take our tour to another city, let me know! We would love to hear your input!
